//The line

Fan-Fan Doughnuts is a Bedford-Stuyvesant doughnut shop from Fany Gerson, the chef behind Dough and La Newyorkina, known for its namesake "fan fan" — a long, eclair-shaped filled doughnut — alongside a rotating lineup of creative flavors like guava and cheese. The small-batch, limited-hours model (it's only open Wednesday through Sunday) concentrates demand into fewer days than a typical bakery.

Reviewers describe a line forming outside the shop, especially in the mornings, since popular flavors can sell out. There's no reservation system since it's a walk-up counter, so the practical guidance from reviews is to arrive close to the 9am opening and to expect weekends to be busier than weekdays if you want to avoid a wait.
